Hi there,
I'd be happy if someone could kindly answer this question of mine. I just wonder how 'to get past something' may differ in meaning from 'to pass something'.
Also, is it possible to use them interchangably in the following two expressions?
1. "The food is past/has passed its sell-by-date!"
2. "I think I can still work! I haven't passed/am not past my sell-by-date yet!"
Thanks a lot!
